Symphony no. 3

Album by Philip Glass

Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 3 is a minimalist work for string orchestra, composed in 1995, structured in four movements that develop layered rhythmic patterns and repeating harmonic cycles. Its third movement assigns individual solo lines to each player, cumulatively weaving the ensemble into a contrapuntal texture.
First released: 30th May 2000
